You can specify Enterprise Pack environment variables in your operating system. Refer to the procedure that matches your OS below.
Windows
The following instructions provide guidance on how to configure environment variables on Windows 10, but you should refer to the documentation for your version of Windows for details.
- Open Control Panel from the Windows start menu.
- Choose System and Security > System > Advanced system settings.
- Choose Environment Variables to open the environment variables editing screen.
- Add the desired Enterprise Pack variables in the System variables section. Refer to Environment Variables for information about the available variables.
- Click OK to save the variables and restart the Enterprise Pack service (see Starting DTP Applications).
Linux
On Linux systems, you can configure the necessary environment variables before running the dtpconsole.sh script, for example:
export DEP_USE_REMOTE_DB=true export DEP_DB_HOSTNAME=<HOST> export DEP_DB_PORT=<PORT> ./dtpconsole.sh
Refer to Environment Variables for information about the available variables.
You can also configure the system to set the variables you want to use at startup. For example, you could modify the environment file located in your /etc directory to include these variables.
